J^Cust outside my window I ^Csushear the late September d^Cogs ^Csus and I ^Cunderstand their warning^Csus, I understand their s^Cong ^Csus S^Cince you left, I ^Csusfeel a change in the ^Cair ^Csus and n^Cight after night, I'm ^Csussearching for mercy ev^Cerywhere ^Csus

[prechorus]:

so I w^Cake in the street and I ^Csuscall out your name C F(strum) and I shout to the sky please,

[chorus]: (strumming)

come on let it ^Amrain, let it rain down ^Gon me let the rain touch ^Fmy hands let the rain set ^Gme free

[pattern1] C Csus C Csus let it rain down on me

sile^Cnce is the steel that p^Csusierces and cuts me to the b^Cone ^Csus in dreams the hand that touches you is mine, and mine alone

cruel ^Cis the light, is the mor^Csusning shining down on me ho^Curs with the devil to un^Csusderstand just what you need

[pre-chorus], 2nd line "..rain fill my eyes.." [chorus] [bass solo] [pattern1]

^CJust inside the distance, I ^Csushear the late September d^Cogs ^Csus I so I beg for sleep, the child who walked before she crawled

^Cdamn my soul that re^Csusmembers and clutches to this pai^Cn ^Csus C F[strum] the spear in your side is me come on let it ...

[chorus]

oh ho ho ^Amlet it rain, let the rain fill my e^Gyes I don't wanna s^Fee, no, let it rain down on m^Ge

[pattern1] C Csus C Csus let it rain down on me oooh hooo [outro]: C Csus [pattern1] to fade Fingering: Alternative fingering for C and Csus : C Csus ___________ ___________ |_|_1_1_1_1 10th |_|_1_1_1_1 10th fret |_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_3_3_3 |_|_|_3_3_3 |_|_|_|_4_| |_|_|_|_4_4 If the C,Csus at the 10th fret is too trebly or hard on the fingers, it

also works playing C,Csus at the nut (or possibly C,F

bracketed

) like this:

// C | x_____o___o e-||-----------0----------|---------0--------|--- |_|_|_|_1--_| B-||.-------------(1)-----|------------1-----|--- |_|_|_|_|--_| G-||.-----------------(0)-|---------------0--|--- |_3_4_|_|--_| D-||----------------------|------------------|--- |_|_|_|_|--_| A-||---3----3-------------|--3----3----------|----------------_| \\

Arrangement: If you don't have loads of bass guitar in the back, it might be better to strum C,Csus or even C,F at the prechorus, rather than continuing picking pattern 1. EADGBe 320003 - G xx3211 - F x02210 - Am comments, improvements, etc. welcome Nic Nic.Boulton@cw.mercury.co.uk
